Kate received her Yoga Alliance RYT 200 Hour certification in
March 2020 through her recent completion of the Yoga Body Institute
Yoga Teacher Training Program at Yoga Body Shop. Kate moved from
Indiana in 2018 where she had been practicing power vinyasa yoga at
a local Baptiste certified studio for several years. She started
her yoga journey as a means to stretch her muscles after
challenging gym workouts, but has stayed on her mat because of the
clarity and ease each practice brings to her mind - she gets out of
her head and away from all the thoughts while she is on her mat.
After moving to New York, Kate was in desperate need of a studio
that would provide her a community of relatable people, a space for
her to roll out her yoga mat on a regular basis, and classes that
challenged her both mentally and physically. She chose to visit the
Yoga Body Shop, a Baptiste Affiliate Studio, after reading online
reviews and she has been a regular in classes ever since.
Kate is a graduate of Indiana University with a BS in Applied
Health Science and a focus in Nutrition. She has had a passion for
health and fitness for as long as she can remember. She strives to
inspire those around her each day to try on a “healthy lifestyle.”
Kate spent the first five years out of college working as Director
of Healthy Living at her local YMCA before converting to a career
in Human Resources. She holds fitness certifications in LesMills
BodyPUMP & CX Worx, as well as TRX Small Group Training. In
addition, she has experience leading wellness programs and
instructing group fitness classes such as cycling, step, bootcamp,
HIIT, and water aerobics. She’ll bring the power and motivation to
any class she instructs, and she expects you to bring your “A”
game, your determination, and your sweat towel!
Through her yoga journey, Kate has transformed both on and off
the mat and wants to help others to do the same. No matter what
life throws at you, yoga gives you the tools you need to overcome
it. A positive and energetic light, Kate is ready to shine bright
for her students and inspire them to harness the power within to
believe they are STRONG, they are LOVABLE, and they are ENOUGH.
